Should we ditch the emoji all together? Did you know that every emoji has a unique description? This means when assistive technology, like a screen reader, reaches an emoji it will read out the description for it. For example: Hello ?? to all our new followers. We ?? to see new faces. Join us at 10am for our next webinar ?? Through a screen reader this would sound like: Hello waving hand to all our new followers. We pink heart to see new faces. Join us at 10am for our next webinar Ten O’clock. Sounds confusing, doesn’t it? Emojis might look cool but when used incorrectly they are very inaccessible! Next time you post, think, do I really need to put an emoji there? To find out descriptions for emojis visit emoji pedia .org Image description: On a purple background a blue box appears with writing that reads, Did you know? Every emoji has its very own unique description? 3 emojis sit below this and the description for those are: Star-struck, Smiling face with hearts and Thinking face. #SocialMedia #EDI #DEI #Inclusion #Inclusive #Content #Advertising #Marketing #Thinkedi #DidYouKnowFacts #Emoji

?? This week, members of the Hodge team had the privilege of attending the She Who UK International Women’s Day event, where we proudly participated as silver sponsors. ?? The event was nothing short of inspirational, emotive, and motivational. The incredible panel of speakers shared their personal stories, challenges, and triumphs - sparking meaningful conversations about what we can all do to drive change faster. It was also a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, all committed to making a difference. ?? A key takeaway? Approach the conversation with curiosity. Progress happens when we listen, learn, and engage with open minds—not from a place of fear or judgment. If we want to break down barriers, we need to create spaces where people feel safe to ask questions, challenge biases, and take action. ? A huge thank you to the inspiring panel: Beren Kayali, Asel Sartbaeva, Andries Pretorius?& Sophie Mason- We've scribbled down some of their incredible insights, swipe to see?? ??
